Austin Center is a 300,000 square foot office complex located in the center of the Westshore Business District, the largest concentration of office space in Florida. Westshore's zip code, 33607, is listed as one of the top 50 employment areas in the United States.
In the mid 1960s, Alfred S. Austin and his father, R. S. Austin, purchased several acres of vacant land between the newly constructed Interstate 275 and an old army base that served as Tampa's first airport. At the time, cow pastures, orange groves and pine forests blanketed the area. Today, office buildings, shopping malls, hotels, restaurants and apartment complexes surround Tampa International Airport, which has grown into one of the finest airports in the world.
Austin Center was the first commercial development in Westshore and built on a site known to be the heart of the District, at the intersection of North Westshore Boulevard and Cypress Street. Within minutes of Austin Center, you can easily access 1-275, the Veteran's Expressway, and the bridges to Pinellas County --- offering some of the quickest commute times to anywhere in the Tampa Bay Region. Downtown Tampa and Raymond James Stadium are also a short drive away.
As pioneers of the Westshore Business District, the Austins built these office buildings with location and growth potential in mind. Almost 40 years later, Austin Center is a Tampa landmark and one of the most well-known business addresses in the area.
Whether you're looking for a small 1,000 square foot office or an entire floor of open space, the first buildings in Westshore are still the most versatile in accommodating your needs today and your growth tomorrow. A great Westshore address, reasonable rental rates and on-site property management is why Austin Center has earned its reputation for location, value and service.
